CLK 200 CGI, CLK 55 AMG:
Super un leaded sulphur-free petrol with
am inimum octane rating of 98 RON /

i As a very temporary meas ure, you may
also use premium unleaded petrol, 95 RON /

! The following mayle ad to increased wear or
engine damage:
! The use ofpetrol which does not com ply with

! The useof fuel additives
The use offue lsand /orfuel addit iveswhich
have not been approved may result inlimitation
of warrant yrights. Leaded petrol
You may fill up
with leaded petrol incoun-
tries where unleaded petrol is not availa-
ble. This shortens the interval for replacing
spark pl ugs to 20,000 km.
6 Consult a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre before using leaded petrol.
! Leaded petrol damages the catalytic con-
verter and the Lambda probe.
If you exceed theinte rval for replacing the spark
plu gs, this ma y cause increased wear and engine
damage.

filling station attenda nt.
We recommend having the engine oil
change devery 7,500 km in countries
where only diesel fuel with a sulphur con-
tent exceeding 0.5 percent by weight is
available.

we ar or engine damage:
! Diesel which does not compl ywith EN 590
! Marine diesel fuel
! Heating oil
! Vegetable oil methyl ester (VOME)
! Fuel additives ("b iodiesel", FAME fue ls)
The use of fuels an d/or fuel additives which
have not bee napproved may result in limitation
